Summary: This is the Google Plus Boot Camp Episode 4! Hello and welcome to the fourth episode of the Google Plus Boot Camp! Why should you listen to this? Because we will explain things fast and save you time to spend with friends and family instead. Our topic today: How to attract the big fishes! Hi, my name is Raymond Bauer and my topic is customer acquisition and retention. I am from good old Germany, so please forgive me my mistakes. By now you should already have created a few circles and you have an outstanding photo and an amazing profile in Google Plus. If you have missed that part, go back to Episode1! And you might also have found some people, that you always wanted to talk to. But your chance to talk to the desired contact might be very small, if he is a big fish. Try to send him a mail. He will probably never answer. But there is a cool feature in Google Plus, that can do the trick for you. The problem: You want to contact James T. Kirk, but you don't believe he will talk to you. The solution: Tag him in a picture to make him contact you! If you have listened to the former episodes, you might have noticed, that you can tag a photo. When you use the name for this, that is already inside your circles, you can select the person and link his profile to the photo.If you do not have good photos of James T. Kirk, you can also create a picture with the free service cooltext.com. Maybe the text is "James T. Kirk is the hero of my childhood days!" And here is the reason you will do this: Only five seconds after you have tagged the picture, James T. will get a Google-Mail on his communicator saying:"You just have been tagged by this user. Will you approve this?" So now he will check the link to find out, if he is willing to approve the tag, or if he rather is going to kill you with his phaser. Whatever he decides, you might get his full attention, as long as not everybody is going to do this. Your task: Try to attract some big fishes by adding them to your circle and tagging their name afterwards So do the next step now and come back for more!
